I Stopped Blaming My Parents (And Took Responsibility for My Life)

In this episode, I talk about something uncomfortable but necessary: at what point do we stop blaming our parents and take responsibility for our lives?Growing up with separated parents, financial struggle, criticism, fear, scarcity, and people-pleasing shaped many of my habits—debt, worrying what people think, avoiding conflict, and living with a scarcity mindset.This episode isn’t about blaming parents. It’s about understanding where our habits came from, taking accountability, and realizing that healing and growth are still possible—even at 49.If you’ve ever struggled with money, people pleasing, fear of judgment, or feeling stuck because of childhood programming, this conversation may hit home.
